There’s something magical about a couple that meets and falls in love despite being from different continents. Julia was born and raised in Miami and Tim is from right across the pond in England. He sailed his way to Florida with friends on an impromptu trip and that’s when he met Julia.

Fast forward to 2015 and they were exchanging vows at the same church Julia’s grandparents were married in many moons ago. They had an intimate party with friends from near and far and included lots of little details to celebrate both their heritages. They had Paperfinger create beautiful illustrations for the table names that were all locations special to them, including “Guernsey” which is an illustration of the groom’s childhood home, a 15th century farmhouse in an English channel island. As their guests arrived, they were welcomed with some Pimm’s Cup and played some good, old fashioned croquet.

A few months ago I boarded a plane at the crack of dawn to Philadelphia. I was on my way to spend the day with Inseo, Stephenny and their furry babies. As soon as I arrived at their cozy home, it felt like spending the day with old friends. We wanted to document a day in the life for their engagement session so we spent the morning making breakfast and playing their the pups and then headed out on the town. We made our way to the restaurant where Inseo and Stephenny went for their first date and shared stories of our lives as dog lovers and adventurers. It was such an amazing day and I can’t wait to document their wedding day this October.

One of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is getting to experience different traditions and cultures. I was lucky enough to have been chosen to document Raj and Molly’s wedding which included two ceremonies, one to celebrate Raj’s Indian heritage and one in the evening to celebrate Molly’s.

Molly and Raj met in NYC and after a whirlwind romance, Raj proposed on a cold February night in Central Park. They wanted to spend their wedding day with their nearest and dearest and chose Vizcaya Gardens for their venue to add a timeless backdrop. The morning was colorful and festive and full of life. Raj’s family were the ultimate hosts. In the afternoon, an intimate number of family and friends gathered to keep celebrating Raj and Molly and the new chapter they were starting together.
